HecklesForget the drunk bloke at the back yelling incoherent nonsense. Sometimes a well placed heckle can raise a mediocre act to a brilliant night out.
Tell us your best heckles and, if you are brave, the retorts that put you back in your place like the maggot you are.

Crocodile ClubI was once at the above-named comedy club in Brighton, watching a comedian so unfunny (eg 'have you ever noticed how in the Tom and Jerry cartoons, when they laugh it's just violins going 'eee eee eee'? Imagine what it would be like if that really happened!') that everyone was talking amongst themselves, waiting for the next act. The comedian, sensing he was losing his appeal pleaded
"Oh come on, I've travelled all the way from London to be here"
To which I had to reply
"I hope you got a return ticket!"
Everyone laughed, at which point he went all red-faced and teary-eyed and the compére led him off stage.
Not especially witty of me, but it was funnier than his act.
